You sound like a old man with a little corny mod car. like i said the boomerang antenna is right up you alley!
BABY TALK= "I have had several, many that are MUCH better than your 500E could ever be" Again grow up! My mom is proud of me and yours too! This is not my 1st 2nd 3rd 4th benz boss, I have others too! This 500e is my toy!
lol! "panhandler" i dont beg! I DO! and show you so you can hate! just like you did!
You have no class or netiquette! learn how to critique positive first then negative! or if you dont have nothing nice to say dont say anything!!!
YOU ARE MY FRIEND!!! Tomorrow when you take the mascara off things will be ok!

well seeing as how everyone else has posted on this thread...
Lets critique the outsider nissan guy.
I'm not a fan of the decals/stickers on the side and the lower eye lash looking things. If you subtract those things, i think it would be a real nice jap ride.

LoL...ok so here's my attempt at steering this thread away from e-fighting! :p
Looks good. If you aren't selling it then no need to keep it all original. Anyway, it's just paint....Not like it can't be painted back to the stock color if it even mattered. I'm a big fan of silver/black combinations on cars, as my previous Altimas show. :p
Might I suggest having your rims painted black. Just a thought.
Enjoy your ride, dude. I've seen some ugly mods on other 124's but your car looks good to me. I'll be keeping my 4ooE stock because having fixed up cars has just gotten me too much attention from police in the past. :p
Here was my Altima. Might seem "ricey" to some, but it was a show winner and track winner. So funny to have my n/a fwd family sports sedan beat mustang gt's, wrx's, and evo's at the track. Anyway, I think dark (gunmetal) or black rims would help that black roof.

I promise im kidding!! 
Im just trying to lighten the situation. Im a strong believer in, "to each his own."
To be honest when i first looked at that altima the first word i said was, "damn."
I like the stance and the wheels go really well with that particular car.

Thanx man! i am looking forward to seeing your CE. i am trying to have my CE ready by the spring! i decided against doing the wide body! i saw a nice black on black CE the other day it was beautiful. it just had springs and amg rims! crazy. all the 94 parts! i am going to do the same. but the wide body is going to look good too. so i will wait on doing it. maybe next fall i will do it!

if you're still taking design critique, the black top looks good from the front to me because it follows the trim from the windshield / a-pillar to the roof. The rear transition, however stops abruptly at the top of the backlight. There's no continuation of the line or graphic.
Since you're playing with the graphics, it seems black bumper strips would work in this case and maybe a black painted license pocket. I'd try blacking out the window frames or just the b-pillar to emphasize the window to roof shapes. What helps makes the W124 timeless is the balanced roof angles. Most cars today are so raked for aero, they compromise ergonomic packaging and a structural look. You can mark up photos of your car with markers or apply temporary black shelf paper to visualize it before painting.

Niibe installed a full carbon-fiber roof on his 500E (which also has a genuine AMG 6.0L crate motor, and more high-end mods than you can shake a stick at). Details are in this thread, you can contact him via that forum:
